I think that you're asking "Does the 11/44 have a sniffer boot?" The
answer to that is no. The boot device (or "boot to console") is
selected by DIP switches near the actual physical boot ROM's
on the M7098. See
http://metalab.unc.edu/pub/academic/computer-science/history/pdp-11/hardware/
specifically, the file "1144.boot.roms", for very detailed information
on identifying the boot ROM's present and how to set the DIP switches
to select the appropriate one.
